Help with SIM800L Lambda

Hi, I am trying to setup some Lambda on a SIM800L, but for some reason I just cannot get the formatting or indentation right.

Can you please help me out with this,

Thanks

sim800l:
  on_sms_received:
    - lambda: |-
        if id(sms_sender).state == "+12345678901":  # Replace with the actual phone number
          if id(sms_message).state == "turn_on":
            id(my_output).turn_on()
          elif id(sms_message).state == "turn_off":
            id(my_output).turn_off()

Replace your Colons with semicolons

Lambda is C++. This means your syntax must follow C++ rules. This is an example of if/else from W3Schools:

if (condition1) {
  // block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
  // block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
  // block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}

And from one of my projects:

          if (speed<=11) { it.filled_circle(x, y, 7, light_blue); }
            else {
          if (speed>11 && speed<=30) { it.filled_circle(x, y, 7, green); } 
            else {
          if (speed>30 && speed<=60) { it.filled_circle(x, y, 7, orange); } 
            else {
          if (speed>60) { it.filled_circle(x, y, 7, red); } 
            } } }
